It's not just feeding you have to think of, it's the vet bills. I have a large 2 yr old dog & 7 cats, two 2 year olds and five 1 year olds so they will all be senior cats/dog at the same time. We have planned for this.

As for litter boxes, I have 10. 6 in the cat room and 2 in each bathroom.

See, I wish we had a "cat room". It would make a world of difference around here. The more I'm thinking about it the more I'm thinking of only keeping the one boy as we'd originally planned. It's going to be so hard for me to give up the little black female we named Jasmine. She's so smart and active like Jada was as a kitten.

We are planning on buying a home in the next year and perhaps at that time I'll have room and can rescue a couple more from the humane society here in town.

3 adult cats Lovecat Jr., Bonnie and unnamed. So far 6 kittens that I can see but I'm guessing there are about 4 more. We will prolly keep one of the kittens.

actually no...wish I did tho. 16 are fixed, just waiting to fix the new ones.. I live in a 3 bed with a walk up attic and basement so theres enough room. all are inside excedpt two I take out(the rest could care less about going out) sometimes it gets to be nuts here..Like 15 cats chasing a moth in house is funny as heck!!!RJ

Right now we have 2 indoor cats and 2 outside (one of our 3 outside cats got adopted a week ago cause we are moving).

In the past I never had more then 6 adult cats in the house. I've had as many as 12 as one cat had a litter of 6 kittens (most I've ever had). I never count kittens in the house as 99% of them are spoken for as purebred cats when I was breeding my rexes.
